History & Reputation

Koller Auctions was established in 1958 as an art auction gallery in Zurich, Switzerland, and is now the country's leading auction house with locations worldwide including China, France, Germany, and Australia. This auction house is an Invaluable.com platinum member and has hundreds of past auctions on the site. Live auctions with Koller are available on Invaluable.com.

A leader in art auctions, Koller has a number of notable sales in its history, and is particularly skilled in identifying unknown or underappreciated works as significant. In 2008, Koller identified the previously unknown Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder work, which sold for £3.61 million. Previously, in 1999, Koller identified a Joachim Wtewael oil on copper work as significant, and sold it for £2 million.

Koller's specialty is art, including modern, swiss, 19th century, and impressionist art. The auction house also offers a number of other specialty departments, including books, silver, jewelry, carpets, wine, and design.
